0. Revision History

v1.1 2016-12-18 Initial SA draft
v1.0 2016-12-17 Initial public report
I. Background
pfSense® software is a free network firewall distribution based on the
FreeBSD operating system. The pfSense software distribution includes third-
party free software packages for additional functionality, and provides most of
the functionality of common commercial firewalls.
The majority of users of pfSense software have never installed or used a stock
FreeBSD system. Unlike similar GNU/Linux-based firewall distributions, there
is no need for any UNIX knowledge. The command line is never used, and there
is no need to ever manually edit any rule sets. Instead, pfSense software
includes a web interface for the configuration of all included components.
Users familiar with commercial firewalls will quickly understand the web
interface, while those unfamiliar with commercial-grade firewalls may encounter
a short learning curve.
II. Problem Description
Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities were found in the Captive
Portal area of the pfSense software WebGUI on version 2.3.2_1 and earlier.
List of parameters vulnerable to reflected XSS:
* status_captiveportal.php: "order", "zone"
* status_captiveportal_expire.php: "zone"
* status_captiveportal_test.php: "zone"
* status_captiveportal_voucher_rolls.php: "zone"
* status_captiveportal_vouchers.php: "zone"
III. Impact
Due to the lack of proper encoding on the affected variables and pages
succeptible to XSS, arbitrary JavaScript can be executed in the user's browser.
The user's session cookie or other information from the session may be
compromised.
IV. Workaround
To mitigate the problem on older releases, use one or more of the following:
* Limit access to the affected pages to trusted administrators only.
* Do not log into the firewall with the same browser used for non-
administrative web browsing.
V. Solution
Upgrade to version 2.3.3 of the pfSense software, or a later version. This may
be performed in the web interface or from the console.
